Copper Drip, is one of those paintings you need to actually see close up. The texture is what makes the true essence of the piece. I should post another photo showing the depth it has. I have recently been working with fabrics in the Interior Design industry. I never realized how much texture in a fabric can make a tan or beige a look interesting.

About Me

Kate Barkauskas was born in Long Island New York. Her art career began when she moved to Manhattan to study fine art's at the Fashion Institute of Technology. After a year she transferred over to The Art Students League where she could study painting as well as sculpture. Kate’s passion for sculpture and painting lead her to complete her bachelors degree in Fine Arts at The School of Visual Arts in N.Y.C. in 2003. Her art can be classified as abstract and expressionism. Her philosophy is “As long as I have the tools to create, the art will create itself.” Over the past couple of years her art has changed and grown as she has. Different phases of her life are reflected in her work, keeping things fresh while modifing her style. Kate’s paintings are created by a process of layering different mediums. Her paints of choice are typically acrylics, oils, polyurethanes, shellacs and glazes. Kate resides in San Diego, where she continues to paint.
One of her new transformations from the art world in N.Y., to San Diego was to continue her education. This time in Interior Design. Kate graduated from Mesa College with a Certificate In Interior Design.
